A middle show of a 6-show run, that gets better each night. So, presumably this was an OFF release due to the unique sections of the second set. At the time, this was the evidence that the band was going to be okay post-Brent. Well, the first hint was the Ohio show (8Sep90), but throwing Vince into the deep end for a run at MSG was a good idea. Though culminating in a top 5 '90s show, the start of the run was a bit shaky and took the arrival of Bruce to shore the ship. This is his second show as a bandmember.
First Set. Bobby might get lost a couple times in Hellina, but Jer is on. The dual-keys version of Cold Rain & Snow is followed by an above average Little Red Rooster, with a quad solo section. Nice, if not the year's tightest. Vince's solo is turned down at first, but then, on Stagger Lee, the keys are too high in the mix and Bobby is buried. The rest of the set is average early Vince. Much of the climax solo in Tennessee Jed is given to Bruce, before they begin dueling. This is better on vid, which is is a must-hear-once. Deal eventually gathers some steam, but Healy has Jer mixed low. Phil is dominant in this set.
Second Set. This is a great Samson, but it's worth watching the vid as well. Phil is a missionary on a lengthy Iko Iko, and 6 mins in it does gel. Though prominent throughout this set too, here he is very entertaining. Looks Like Rain is tight, but histrionic in '90. This show becomes notable with this 24min He's Gone. There are times Bobby stands out, or Bruce, or Vince (w/string tones); super-size, it keeps blooming. The end jam almost halts, but after the drummers stop it gets a spontaneous boost from Jer, then Phil, then Bruce. It keeps going after Jer/Bobby leave, then the drummers just bow out, leaving bass and two keys – a rarity in Deadworld. As it peters out the drummers come back. The OFF titled this "No MSG Jam" [but, it IS MSG!], but either way Vince is key here. After a big, arena-acid-test Drums, the drummers leave a second time for a bland Space leading to an amazing, 15min Standing on the Moon. This time Bobby leads the extension jam, followed by Vince then Jer. This jam becomes Space-like [it's also titled on the OFF], but it's better than Space was. For Miracle, try the matrix for a better mix. The end pair are more than enough to send 'em onto the busy streets happy. A long set.
1st Set:  C
2nd Set: B
Overall = 3¼ stars
Highlights:
Samson & Delilah – driven by Phil
He's Gone – superb playing even before the unique jam
Standing on the Moon – gets better & better then the boys jump off again
SOURCES: Dick's 9 was the second in the series to feature a complete show with no edits/substitutions. The 144815_UltraMatrix is the updated SBD. The french_88947 is a good AUD except for low levels. The 145946_mtx_seamons is a fine tape matrix. The complete show is usually up on YouTube (though too dark & mostly just Jer)

Have to chime in and agree with Gvtmule, there should be more reviews for this one! Very good sound for an audience recording. Yes there is quite a bit of crowd noise...at times...mostly it's not distracting at all. Backstage passes or whatever...It worked. Overall very good sound, well balanced, nothings overblown,muted or totally lost, Just very solid all the way through. High points; Starts out strong with a good Hell in a bucket, followed by a very good Cold Rain and Snow. Along the way a good Queen Jane,nice Cassidy, and closes 1st set with Deal. 2nd set opens with a killer Samson and Delilah into Iko Iko....I could go on, but I think you get the point....There are a lot of Madison Square Garden shows that are the stuff legends are made of... this one belongs in that group. Personally I've been listening to it a lot....That’s Right!

Surprised there aren't any reviews on this. This source sounds the best of the 5 to me. Better high end. Possibly a bit more crowd noise but not enough to detract. Pretty good post-Brent show. Fantastic aud!
